Recap (part 1)

I had the chance to go to quilt market this year!  I had a marvelous time and took way too many photos.  I’m going to do my best to just pick my favorites – pinky promise.  (My 5 year old just learned about pinky promises so there’s a lot of them going on around here.)

I flew in to Portland on Thursday, and went straight from the airport to the convention center.  Sample spree had already begun and the “late line” was already quite long.  I was the last one in the late line – but I got in - and there was plenty of fabric left for us late peeps. 

Here’s my haul.  I tried to keep my acquisitions to a minimum and even though this is quite a pile, from the looks of some of the (multiple) huge bags some women were carrying I think I did pretty well.

The fabrics I’m most excited about are these Art Gallery fabrics.

During my visit to Portland I also found my way to Fabric Depot.  Holy Macaroni that is one huge store.  I should have given myself way more time to spend there.  I walked out with a few quarter-yard cuts of just my favorites:

Now I get to play with them all!  Right now they’re all stacked on my cutting table.  I can’t bring myself to put them in the closet yet.
